On the 29th June 2018 we opened the gates at Culemborg Safe Space for our first intake of 8 people. As the site was not complete as yet we could only accommodate these eight people.
On the 18th July 2018 - Mandela Day the second wave of intakes arrived en-masse and from there on steadily our number increased until we had 230 people on site, in March 2020 at the beginning of Lock-down. This is when we had to decrease our numbers to accommodate the social distancing insisted on by The Department of Environmental Health.
